Then again, it's always been of my opinion that it is easier to hate and disparage what you don't understand instead of working to understand what
you don't know.

So true, we have had good lessons from the Israelites in the old testament practising genocide. The US still uses the bible to make important oaths
dont they?

en.wikipedia.org...
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability,
preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

I dont hate but I do understand how the US has lost its way turning around and becoming the very thing it despised the British for at the War of
Independence.

The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of
the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be
required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States. en.m.wikipedia.org...

The British military still has to give an oath to God. (Last time I checked).

"In an original 1903 edition of the Jewish Encyclopedia in New York's Public Library, and in the Library of Congress, Volume IV, pages 1 to 5
inclusive, appears a most comprehensive history of the Khazars. Also in the New York Public Library are 327 books by the world's greatest historians
and other sources of reference, in addition to the Jewish Encyclopedia, dealing with Khazar history, and written between the 3rd A.D. and 20th
centuries by contemporaries of the Khazars and by modern historians on that subject."

Jesus was a 'Judean', not a Jew.

During His lifetime, no persons were described as "Jews" anywhere. That fact is supported by theology, history and science. When Jesus was in Judea,
it was not the "homeland" of the ancestors of those who today style themselves "Jews". Their ancestors never set a foot in Judea. They existed at that
time in Asia, their "homeland", and were known as Khazars. In none of the manuscripts of the original Old or New Testament was Jesus described or
referred to as a "Jew". The term originated in the late eighteenth century as an abbreviation of the term Judean and refers to a resident of Judea
without regard to race or religion, just as the term "Texan" signifies a person living in Texas.

In spite of the powerful propaganda effort of the so-called "Jews", they have been unable to prove in recorded history that there is one record, prior
to that period, of a race religion or nationality, referred to as "Jew". The religious sect in Judea, in the time of Jesus, to which self-styled
"Jews" today refer to as "Jews", were known as "Pharisees". "Judaism" today and "Pharisaism" in the time of Jesus are the same.

Maybe not required but as the above states. I really wonder if there is more to it. The propensity for warmongering by the USA really makes me think
they know what they swear on...a bloodlust

I dunno. One thing about the US, is its location. Their only option in "international peacekeeping" is to set up military bases abroad, which may
seem like invasion. It's a fact that can't be overlooked IMO.

Once the top industrial nation, but war doesn't come to our shores. We have to go to it.

And as much as Christians try to make this a Christian country, it's not.

With living a Christian life comes a life of morality. That's what the secularists and atheists truly are railing against. "Do as thou wilt" is a
motto of the wiccans, and non-Christians are offended when any sense of morality is displayed or encouraged. Yes most Christians believe in marriage
before sex, although any more it rarely happens that way. Today everything is sexualized...and a society cannot have it both ways. The Bible even says
that in the last days, men will turn Away from God, denying His very existence, and turn to themselves and the desires of the flesh and become their
own gods. When the judgment of God comes it will be swift and fierce. We wonder why the world is in such a sad state of affairs. We worship ourselves
rather than our Creator, and have left any sense of morality we once had.
Yes, Christians of today undergo a tremendous amount of persecution, but it will only get worse until Christ returns. This is the beginning of the
end. Christianophobia truly is everywhere even here. But we should be thankful that we are not undergoing the harsh persecutions, torture, and death
many Christians in other parts of the world are experiencing even today, because of their faith. It will get worse, and with the coming NWO I fully
expect to see a One World Religion. You will either become a part of it or you won't. I believe the office of the Pope is being groomed for this
religion.

Like it or not, Jesus was the son of Joseph. And he was practicing jew. I don't know why that would be a problem, since as i checked last time, there
were more and more excavations pointing to an even wider spread community of jewish cities and enclaves than anticipated so far. That's still far
beside the point that matters, if you ask me. The so called "christians" are a shame to every half-reasonable person practicing their faith. Nothing
but self-importance, intolerance and to be honest this whole creationists thing is just so very silly it discredits everybody who followas this
"teaching" as delusional wishfull-thinker who lost touch with reality.
I am catholic, i don't want to have anything to do with it. I believe in science. I know God exists, but that is something so personal and has
nothing to do with my cultural heritage or my capabaility of thought. If something forces you to bend your mind and deny reality, maybe it is what you
fear: the great seduction of the weak. All of that inhuman brainwashing harms everybody around you. It is no love, when you have to change and
surpress your god-given personality. It is not right, if you think you know it all and are the only one with all the answers. It is a shame these
born-agains and creationists are allowed to abuse the name of Jesus to spread their lies and their hatred.
It is no christianophobia but there has to be a distinction between politics and religion, between culture and religion maybe not so much, but it is
2015! A creator is not only unneccessary it is also obstructive. It is just a private opinion, something i need to give me hope like a cuddle-blanket
to comfort me, but nothing mandatory to be a good person, or have morals. You people are all so narrow-minded if god would spit you in the face you'd
call him satan.

No, but I would say that the days of unquestioning blind faith in a Pastors sermon from the pulpit is of less relevance. With the internet people can
actually study the texts from different perspectives.

People like you are the worst of the lot. Believing in your God is one thing, but assuming that because I don't it makes me some kind of immoral
psychopath who wants to live in a hedonistic world with no concern for the well being of others is going too far. That's complete BS and you know it.
Having or not having God in someone's life clearly has no effect on that. What kind of bizarre fantasy land are you living in where Christians are
the persecuted knights of the realm fighting against a world where everyone else is immoral demons? Your reality must be a damn scarey
place.

Oh now i remember, we already "discussed" in another threat didn't we? It is pretty pathetic how you defend you're opinion and completely ignore the
point. Am i anti-christian again?
Jesus was practising Jew. Basta. And you creationists, new-borners should get sued for dragging the name "Jesus" into the dirt.
By the way, I'd rather believe Alex Jones than a side that is called "biblebelievers" and doesn't have footnotes on where they take their "insights"
from. And I think Jones is persuing his own disinformation and propaganda agenda. Second Coming of Christ? Like I mentioned before, if the reborn
messiah would tell you he's here, you were probably the first one who'd stone her...
